Reports say Meghan Markle, 44, who lives in Montecito, California, plays mahjong with a group of close friends, sometimes described as a “mahjong squad.” One article identifies a new member as Kelly McKee Zajfen, a friend of the Duchess, and says Zajfen is shown playing mahjong in a “perfect day” scene. The coverage frames the pastime as the long-running hobby of Markle, who has enjoyed the strategy game alongside friends. Mahjong is described in the reports as a popular mind sport believed to have originated in China in the 19th century. The articles do not provide additional details about when the interaction occurred, the specific context of the “perfect day” footage, or whether the games are part of any public event. Across the sources provided, the main points are that Markle is associated with a regular group for playing mahjong and that Zajfen is presented as joining that circle, according to the report.
